This unfortunately is a bug in the Install/Upgrade Script on the CD-ROM.
Please perform the standard installation using the inst12-fs to be found in
the miniroot directory.

Looks like you have a SCSI problem somehow...

Yes, try out a NetBSD 1.2 kernel for instance. The Blizzard driver has
been improved as far as I know.
